Biometric Visitor Management with Integrated Resident Evaluations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing visitor management systems lack an effective method to integrate resident evaluations of visitors, leading to inconsistent and potentially unsafe decision-making regarding visitor access and behavior in residential buildings.
Innovation Solution
A visitor management apparatus that integrates biometric information and evaluation values from residents to generate an integrated evaluation value for each visitor, associating this with biometric data and providing it to residents for informed decision-making.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If biometric information and multiple resident evaluation values are collected and integrated for each visitor, then security and reliability of visitor management is improved, but device complexity and information processing burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that centralizes the collection, integration, and management of biometric information and evaluation values from multiple residents. This mediator handles the complex data processing tasks, preventing the complexity from propagating to individual terminal devices while maintaining high reliability through centralized control and consistent data integration logic.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple evaluation values from different residents along with biometric information into a single integrated evaluation system. By merging these diverse data sources and processing them together through unified integration logic, the system achieves comprehensive and reliable visitor assessment while avoiding the complexity of managing separate evaluation systems.
2Ease of operation
If integrated evaluation values are provided to all residents for visitor assessment, then ease of operation and informed decision-making are improved, but information transmission and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary integration of evaluation values and biometric information on the server side before visitors arrive or before assessment is needed. By pre-processing and storing integrated evaluation data, the system eliminates the need for real-time computation during visitor assessment, thereby reducing information provision time while maintaining ease of operation for residents.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates and distributes copies of integrated evaluation information to multiple resident terminals. Instead of having residents access and process raw data individually, the system generates ready-to-use evaluation copies that can be quickly retrieved and displayed, reducing information transmission time while providing easy access to comprehensive visitor assessment data.

AI summary
A visitor management apparatus 1 is provided with: an identification information acquiring part 11 for acquiring biometric information of a visitor coming to a building, an evaluation value acquiring part 12 for acquiring each of evaluation values for visitors by residents living in the building, an integration part 15 for generating an integrated evaluation value by integrating each of evaluation values by each of residents, a storing part 13 for storing the biometric information corresponding to the visitor and the integrated evaluation value corresponding to the visitor in association with each other, and a providing part 14 for providing the integrated evaluation value corresponding to the visitor stored in the storing part 13 to a resident living in the building.
